While there may be no Pulitzer Prize for headline writing, the skill shown by the unnamed copy editors of The Denver Post for entertaining the readers with clever wordplay should be recognized as being among the best in the nation. When I saw the headline âFilm given the Evel ayeâ to announce funding support from the Colorado Economic Development Commission for an Evel Knievel film, I had to stop for a moment to marvel at the pure genius of the chosen words. At a time when Facebook posts, blogs and Twitter feeds seem to be all the rage, nothing in social media can match a cleverly written newspaper headline. We are privileged to have some of the best editors at The Denver Post to entertain us.

Tom Ryan, Littleton
